Comments
Although this might be worth a new specific test, there is also an existing test case which is commented out. $ grep -r 8202627 open/test/langtools open/test/langtools/jdk/javadoc/doclet/testSearch/TestSearch.java: setAutomaticCheckLinks(false); // @ignore JDK-8202627 open/test/langtools/jdk/javadoc/doclet/testSearch/TestSearch.java: setAutomaticCheckLinks(true); // @ignore JDK-8202627 As part of fixing this issue, those two lines should be deleted, so that the link checker is activated for this test case.

This is another situation where something like utils.isIncluded should be used.
